Lauriston is in an excellent location. We had a three generation family holiday and the area provided something for everyone. The younger members enjoyed the local sandy beaches and water sports. Trips to Marazion, the Lizard lighthouse, and seal watching at Godrevy Point were enjoyed by all. The coastal path to St Ives is a pleasant thirty minute walk. There was also a good bus service to many parts of this area.

Tom Bawcock's Eve, Mousehole

The tradition of Tom Bawcock comes from the feast or famine lifestyle of Cornwall.  The story goes that it was just before Christmas; there had been no fish for weeks, the boats couldn’t get out into the raging storm, the village was starving. One man, Tom Bawcock, dared to take his boat out of the harbour’s safety. He returned with enough fish to make fish pie for the whole village. 

Today, a festival takes place each year to celebrate Tom Bawcock's bravery. During the festival, Star Gazey pies are eaten in memory of this famous event.

Fantastic stay for the 3rd year . Have already booked for next year. Super secure property.

Jul 2019

A big family group of us have just stayed here and could not recommend the house enough, the views alone make this house but the location is fantastic, being 1 of the drivers of a big group it was nice to be able to use the train so close to us to have days out rather then driving and with a 2 min train drive to st ives it came in very handy. It is based on a hill which wasnt a major problem for us but its worth a mention and could have done with having a larger fridge, very minor things. Overall we really loved this stay our 3rd year down Cornwall and would not hesitate to book this house again

Jul 2019

Lovely house and location and will definitely stay here again.

Apr 2019

Fantastic holiday in a fantastic house. Many thanks we will be back soon.

Feb 2019

What a stunning Cottage to stay in would definitely stay again . Myself and my children and grandchildren stayed here for 10 nights for my daughters wedding in Carbis bay . A stunning backdrop from the balcony for our wedding photos . Very pleased we booked to stay in this beautiful house .

Jul 2018

Overall we had a fantastic holiday and enjoyed our stay in the lauriston. We found it spacious having the 2 lounges as a bonus and the use of the balcony with stunning views day and night. Very Well equipped

May 2018

Lauriston is a wonderful comfortable house for 6 up to 10 people. All enjoyed having their own bedroom with ensuite bathroom. Location was great overseeing Carbis bay. An easy walk of 40 minutes along the cost led right into the centre of St. Ives.

Oct 2017

We had a really lovely week staying at Lauriston. The weather during our holiday was mixed and so we put all of the facilities in the property to good use including the central heating, laundry room and sun balcony. We had a dog with us and found the enclosed garden and automatic gates particularly useful. The main open plan living space also worked well for us, this was a very comfortable and beautifully decorated space.

Sep 2017

The property lived up to all of our expectations and we would be very happy to use Aspects holidays again.

Sep 2017

Lovely holiday at the Lauriston amazing number of bathrooms and bedrooms . Stunning views from the balcony . Minutes walk to the train station. Secure garden for our dog . Very good amount of utensils and plates cups etc . All in all very comfortable would definitely recommend.

Jun 2017

A good size house with great views

Sep 2016

We had a lovely week at Lauriston.

Oct 2015

Lauriston is a must for any family wishing to stay in Carbis Bay. Excellent location c/w stunning sea views from the balcony. The property is finished to a very high standard and there is ample space for the whole family. We hope to stay again but fear it's popularity will make that difficult as people arrive this year will no doubt wish to return too! *
